There was a man present who looked like the chancellor, but he assured The Codrieb pugilist that he was not Canfield." If, indeed, our worthy chancellor so clmielv resembles a patron of these fighting resorts as to be mistaken for such a person, we would suggest in the name of good order, common decency, humaness; and in behalf of our city of schools, the fair reputation of our noblo state university, and the credit of our glorious state that he who so grandly represents all these fundamental elements of our statos ultimate possibilities, obligingly chauge or modify that "something ' which likens him to the man who fraternizes with "sport...

When Ed Sizcr withdrew as a candidate for mayor, he induced a good many people to promise to support him for clerk of the district court this fall, and he is inclin ed to insist on a redemption of these pledges. He wants the ward. He doesn't caro about dividing it with any liody. Gran Ensign and his friends have about made up their minds that the only thing left for them to do is to fight; and just now it appears probable that there will be a drawn battle between Sizer on one side and Ensign on the other, with Tom Cochran, Kimmel, W. L. Brown, A. D. Bnrr, John McClay, and John P. Maule standing by waiting for a chance to squeeze in. There is some talk of a brand new candidate in the Fifth.
